Convenient Kindle VS a good book

Post by Booklover007 »

This is a plight to me! So help me with your viewpoints. I think the Kindle is very useful and convenient because you can transport your entire bookcase everywhere. But I like touching the pages of the books and leaf through it.

I have had Kindle for about 7yrs. I do most of my reading on it. Every book isn't available for the devices even now, and that is when I get my paper book fix. I don't think having a device means you always have to read on it. But ereaders are super convenient for carrying around with you. I would need a truck to carry around all books I can carry on my Kindle at any given time.

I love my Kindle. It is very useful and it is simple and easy to use. It's nice to be able to carry around a device that you can literally have hundreds of books on. I also enjoy being able to highlight, and even look words up right there without losing your place. However, I still love a feel of a good old fashion book, and they will never go out of style. There will always be something bigger and better coming along in the technology in the world, but books will always remain the same.
